Roof flashing details.
Edge flashing and starter strip.
Roof flashing is a thin material usually galvanized steel that professional roofers use to direct water away from critical areas of the roof wherever the roof plane meets a vertical surface like a wall or a dormer.
The flashing shall be a minimum of 4 inches 102 mm high and 4 inches 102 mm wide.
Large flashings are formed with a hook edge on the top and sides and cleated to the sheathing at 12 o c.
At the end of the vertical sidewall the step flashing shall be turned out in a manner that directs water away from the wall and onto the roof and or gutter while this is a nice diagram of how these flashings work don t forget our 5 th design rule.
The kick out flashing directs water away from the adjoining wall and ensures that the step flashing is not concentrating water on the surface of that wall.
The bottom leg of the step flashing is placed over the roof drainage plane.
The lower edge is hemmed for stiffness.
A critical component of step flashings along the run of the roof slope is a kick out flashing.
Flashing is installed to surround roof features such as vents chimneys and skylights.
This detail illustrates a method of flashing a ventilator on a sloped roof.
The base flashing extends onto the roof a minimum of 4 and is soldered to the ventilator.
